TerryleneOriginally produced by New Day Films in 1997.Originally shot on 16mm, DUTIES OF MY HEART breathes life into Barbara Barg's poem through the expressive and evocative movement of American Sign Language and dance. Influenced by the experimental filmmakers of the 1940s, the film creates a visual and auditory poetic experience and weaves a tapestry of sorrow, resilience and revival. "Following the law of the heart is ultimately a revolutionary act in poet Barg's world, calling us to free our bodies from the rule of authority and find a space we can call our own." - Peter Valente, Author, Translator, FilmmakerMode of access: World Wide Web.

Dancing With Diana A Memoir by Anne Allan [electronic resource] : by Allan, Anne.aut; cloudLibrary;
“Dancing makes you feel heaps better” – Diana In 1981, after the wedding of the century, Anne Allan, a dancer, and ballet mistress with the London City Ballet, was offered an unusual assignment. Her Royal Highness Diana, the Princess of Wales, wanted dance lessons. Would Anne be her teacher? Anne and her royal pupil were soon meeting at a private studio for the first of hundreds of secret weekly one-hour lessons that were never on the princess’s official schedule and never be discovered by the ever-lurking press. Under Anne’s direction, Diana mounted her spectacular debut on the stage of Covent Garden, videotaped a solo performance at Her Majesty’s Theatre, and made clandestine backstage visits to ballets and West End shows for the Princess to get as close as she could to the lives and work of real dancers. Over the course of nine years, teacher and pupil became close friends. Diana appreciated having an outsider to whom she could speak candidly about her personal challenges and her place in the royal world. They would talk, laugh, cry, and—always—dance. Most importantly, Diana learned to express her true self in physical movement. By her last class, the Princess had learned to carry herself with confidence, poise, and grace, both inside and outside the studio. Dance, says Anne, had “nourished and renewed her soul.” NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR “I have often been bitterly disappointed with interviews regarding the Princess. There was always so much more to this incredible woman than what was depicted.  I hope that anyone reading the book will appreciate this fresh look at the more personal side of Diana, enjoy hearing stories about our friendship and share in our fun times, as well as finding a deeper understanding of just how extraordinary she was.” – Anne AllanGeneral adult.

Cahokia jazz : a novel / by Spufford, Francis,1964-author.;
"Like Golden Hill, Cahokia Jazz inhabits a different version of America, and like Golden Hill it has a propulsive and brilliantly twisty plot set within a fully imagined world. Only this world is full of fog, cigarette smoke, dubious motives, danger, and dark deeds. And in the main character of Joe Barrow, we have a hero of truly heroic proportions, and a troubled soul to fall in love with. One snowy night at the end of winter, Barrow and his partner find a body on the roof of a skyscraper. Down below, streetcar bells ring, factory whistles blow, Americans drink in speakeasies and dance to the tempo of modern times. But this is Cahokia, the ancient indigenous city beside the Mississippi living on as a teeming industrial metropolis containing every race and creed. Among them, peace holds. Just about. But the corpse on the roof will spark a week of drama in which this altered world will spill its secrets and be brought, against a soundtrack of wailing clarinets, either to destruction or to rebirth"--
